Abstract: Series arcs in an ac circuit (103) are discriminated from other phenomenon by analyzing the timing between pulses (17, 19) in a second derivative (13) of the current signal. A first timer (159) starts timing upon detection of a first pulse (197) in the second derivative of current signal. Time out of the first timer (159) starts a second timer (161) which times a second interval or window during which a series arcing fault will generate a second pulse (19) of opposite polarity to the first pulse. Detection of the first pulse (17) followed by a second pulse (19) of opposite polarity during the window sets a flip-flop (163) to record the event. When a predetermined number of events are counted by a counter (181) within a given time-period set by a third timer (179), an output signal (184) indicating an arcing fault is generated. If the second pulse (19) is generated before the window opens, or a third pulse (43) occurs during the window, the flip-flop (163) cannot be set so that other events such as the switching of a dimmer do not generate a false output signal.

Abstract: The signal to be controlled is sent along an optical fibre (3) by means of a
wavelength tunable laser (2) whose emission wavelength may be varied as a
function of a possible phase variation in the received signal with respect to a
reference phase. At the receiving end of the fibre a control signal is generated by

sending such fraction back towards the transmitting end, and at the transmitting
end the phase of said fraction is compared with that of the original signal and
the tunable laser is driven (2) in such a way as to transmit at a wavelength such
that the clock information reaches the receiving end with the reference phase.

Abstract: A control system for an optical element such as an optical
amplifier in an optical transmission system comprises means 6 for
determining the transmitted optical signal power in each of a plurality
of different optical wavelength bands, means 7 for determining which
of the powers is closest to a threshold, and means 8 for controlling
an output power of the element, or for controlling a parameter which
affects the threshold, on the basis of the power closest to the
threshold. 
     Since there is no longer any need to allow a margin for possible
gain variations between different wavelengths, power output can be
controlled with reduced upper or lower margins, and thus error rates
reduced, or transmission distances increased.
